I dont know willy, dont give up so easy....it looked a little funny around where the windshield meets the gunwhale, something didnt look EXACTLY right....but I will defer to ya'lls expertise.....

And Reel', you can count on me being down there next year...we already have our deposit in on next years house...same week, following 6/19 , further down the island towards the inlet....as long as I dont sink the boat in the next year and gas doesnt go to $6 a gallon I'll have mine there this time!

Assuming Randleman is back from the west coat by then maybe we can even get him to show up...make it a first class V-20 jamboree!!!

That 3rd week in June worked out great for us...might as well aim for it next year as well...If we can get the 3 boats together at same time, that'd be COOL, COOL!!...


...and as far as that second picture being a Scorpion...sounds like to me you'll just have to keep goin' back til ya spot it again to verify...oh the horrors, but SOMEBODY'S gotta do it

you can clearly see the V emblem just aft of the windshield base

yup there it is plain as day especially after I zoomed in on the original high res pic....(of course it appears I was the only one that had any doubts) I'm learnin' slowly but surely.....I never noticed the slope down to the gunnel was so much further back as opposed to right after the end of the windhshield like on the later models.

Now that right there is priceless ! A man and his family simply enjoying a great day boating and fishing !

Actually the "V" emblem created the only doubt I had cause on that boat, it is much farther aft than on mine...was thinking Chris Craft came up w/their own "V" emblem...afterall it was the same V hull...

Here are the two Scorpion pics I referenced before challengin' Willy to a wager...





Rob, you mentioned the turn-down aft of the windshield...that was the 1st giveaway for me, it's not as far back as an early "V"...

...another was the script of the Chris Craft logo on the side...the boat in your second pic has square lettering there, more like the Wellcraft logo...anyway, it was a fun exercise...

Somebody email me that pic...the supsense is killin me!

RW, I have been trying to link up with REEL for ever with no luck, maybe with you in the mix it will work out.
